It called for 'not one more acre' of Maori land to be taken, and was signed by 200 Maori elders. Another petition had more than 60,000 signatures, so they collected more than 60 200 signatures all up.The march catapulted Maori concerns about land into the public area at a vital time. The 5,000 marchers arrived in Wellington just before Parliament passed the landmark Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975, creating the Waitangi Tribunal.Although Te Roopu Matakite collapsed as various factions wanted other ways of continuing their protest.
